UPDATE: live results can be found at the “LIVE: AU Journalism and Digital Media Department Election Day 2023″ page on the homepage.

Voters across the state of Ohio are anxiously waiting for votes to roll in as polling locations across the state close. 

Both issues one and two have proven to be controversial, and both Democrats and Republicans are anxiously preparing to learn of the results of both issues.  

Sachin Jose, a Cleveland based Catholic journalist, took to X this morning to document the reactions of some Ohio Catholics.  

Jose posted a video of Catholics praying for the failure of issue one at the steps of the Rosary at Holy Cross Immaculata Church in Cincinnati. A banner hung from the banister of the church reads “Vote no issue one. Protect children.” 

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Ohio politicians such as Laura Rodriguez-Carbone took to social media to advocate for the passing of issue one.  

As of 7:37 p.m. NBC News’ live election results show that issue one is passing by 75.8% and issue two is passing by 64.7%. These percentages are based on an estimated 3% of total results.  

The Collegian will continue to report on the results of issues one and two as well as local election results as numbers roll in.
